OH DEAR. I just read up on the net, and I realised that I still have alot of techniques to master when band resumes next week. These techniques aren't easy and would take time and patience to master. But I believe that if I'm focused, I'll be able achieve all of this.

1. Glissando. This is a sliding technique where the saxophonist bends the note using voicing (tongue placement)and at the same time slides up or down to another fingered note. A glissando can also be created using the tongue to control the airstream and holding the embouchure immobile.

2. Multi phonics. Multi phonics is the technique of playing more than one note at once. A special fingering combination causes the instrument to vibrate at two different pitches alternately, creating a warbling sound.

3. Voicing. The technique of manipulating the air stream to obtain various effects. Voicing technique involves varying the position of the tongue, causing the same amount of air to pass through either a more or less confined oral cavity. This causes the air stream to either speed up or slow down, respectively. As well as allowing the saxophonist to play overtones/altissimo with ease, proper voicing also helps the saxophonist develop a clear, even and focused sound throughout the range of the instrument.

I guess that sums it all. ;D oh, plus vibrato as well. :D
Maybe I'll decide to get a XAPHOON! ;D
